HYDRO-MECHANICAL DEEP-DRAWING

using the following processes:
- EHF: external high-pressure forming
- IHF: internal high-pressure forming

SAMPLE APPLICATIONS

• Complicated geometries
• Widened pipes
• Intersections in the design
• Parts with high surface quality
• Parts consisting of multi-layer sheet metals
• Prototype production
• Small and medium-sized batch production
  
  

ADVANTAGES

• Complicated geometries can be produced
• High surface qualities
• Lower tool costs compared with traditional methods
• Drawing ratios of up to over 4.2 possible
• Complicated parts in one drawing process
• Little or no lubrication
• No drawing beads and drawing traces
• Source material for the deep-drawing parts can be coated, painted or polished
  
  

TOOL ADVANTAGES

• Flexible range of use
• Lower capital outlay costs
• Rapid production times, as tools are not hardened
• Due to coating of working surfaces, highly complex parts can be produced
• Long service life of tools
